Miguel And Holly Uncensored

We’re back! We talk through our respective vacations and what we did, and we hear the VERY entertaining story of Scotty’s first time at a strip club!

We talk through our plans for next weeks’ vacation, and go down memory lane with friend and former radio cohost Steve Kramer! If you’ve ever wanted full perspective on our insane shenanigans of the past, this is the podcast for you.

Today’s podcast is a little short! Miguel is hosting a session for our whole company about Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion and explains what that means…plus we talk to his mom! Always a treat!!

We reminisce about communication in the 90s and early 00s. House phones, cordless phones and AIM. Remember the struggle? We also talk to Dr. Upshaw who explains just HOW exercise works to boost your mental health, and why it’s so important to get outside.

For years we’ve been missing a song to kick off the weekend. Miguel loves the chanting and excitement that happens on our sister station. We sample songs to see which one we like best. A surprise caller at the end of the show may solidify our choice.

Miguel and Holly reminisce about their radio history, including how and where they picked up their current catch phrases and personalities. Miguel also finds audio from ‘09 in which a psychic gives him a reading. We’ll just say it’s EERILY accurate.

We bring “Red” John Senning from our sister station to talk through a message we received from an M+H Fam Member. She’s a liberal, her boyfriend is a conservative, and she needs advice on how to talk politics without either of them getting angry.

We discuss our {mixed} emotions about Independence Day 2020. Dr. Nate Upshaw joins us to explain depression, how to recognize it, and the signs you may be suffering from it.

We have surprise guests on today to celebrate the 9th birthday of Hot 101.5 and learn some insider secrets regarding the launch. We also give birthday shouts out to Miguel’s mom Miss Angela!

No guests, no special topics, just the three of us talking through the heaviness we’ve each been feeling daily. If you’ve been struggling, you’re not alone. How do we handle the current state of the world? We talk through it.

We clear up misconceptions surrounding PTSD and who can suffer from it with Dr. Upshaw from NeuroSpa TMS. We also realize a lot of people may have a hard time this holiday season due to politics, protests, COVID, and how divided we seem to have become.

We discuss what Pride means to us. We also talk to Chrys Bundy, president of St. Pete Pride, about what this year looks like. We also speak with M+H Fam member Raphael who came to the US from Venezuela and tells us what it was like growing up there.

We welcome journalist Jarrett Hill, currently in L.A., who used to report locally for ABC Action News. Jarrett got down to brass tacks on racial stereotyping, racism, the Black experience, and what it’s like to be a black gay man in the newsroom.

We talk to Miguel’s mom about the clubs she used to frequent in 1980’s Atlanta. The topic came from our chat with Art Smith, who is locally known for cataloging gay clubs of the past.

We start by learning about “Only Fans,” a social media site most notable for naughty things, and decide what we’d each do. We then switch gears to talk to M+H Fam member Wendy and her Trans son Dallas, who further our education of trans people!

Miguel has always lived by the motto, “The customer is always right!” It has worked well until now, when he saw something posted online that made him snap. We talk about why Miguel chose to unfriend this person, and what we did to celebrate Juneteenth.

Our company decided to make Juneteenth a company holiday. Neither Holly nor Scotty knew much about the day so we dive into the history. Take this Juneteenth to learn and celebrate Black history and culture and spend money with Black-owned businesses.

After yesterday’s eye-opening podcast with the mom of a Trans kid, we hear from a Trans Man who considers himself “stealth.” What does that mean, and how did he know he was not meant to be the woman he was born as? In honor of Pride, we learn together!

We dive in openly and kindly with the Mom of a Trans kid who is now an advocate and ally. She teaches us about her 11-year-old son’s experience, and we dip into the controversy surrounding Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling and her thoughts on Trans Women.

Stressful life events are piling up for Scotty: family health issues, his relationship is going long-distance again, and a car accident. We start the podcast with Dr. Upshaw on how to manage depression without medication for our Mindful Monday.
